Re: kernel 2.6.24.3 patches for AX25

["IT2 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR" <teners@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mr. Pidoux, et alia:

    Are these patches bound to become part of the Linux kernel in a future
Linux Kernel release or are these patches not yet blessed to be put into the
next Linux Kernel release or never will be?


V/R and 73,

Stuart, N3GWG
